1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeIndocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) is an established technique for assessment of intestinal perfusion during gastrointestinal surgery, whereas quantitative ICG-FA (q-ICG) and laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) are relatively unproven. The study aimed to investigate whether the techniques could be applied interchangeably for perfusion assessment.

methodsNineteen pigs underwent laparotomy, two minor resections of the small bowel, and anastomoses. Additionally, seven pigs had parts of their stomach and small intestine de-vascularized. Data was also collected from an in vivo model (inferior caval vein measurements in two additional pigs) and an ex vivo flow model, allowing for standardization of experimental flow, distance, and angulation. Q-ICG and LSCI were performed, so that regions of interest were matched between the two modalities in the analyses, ensuring coverage of the same tissue.

resultsThe overall correlation of q-ICG and LSCI evaluated in the porcine model was modest (rho = 0.45, p < 0.001), but high in tissue with low perfusion (rho = 0.74, p < 0.001). Flux values obtained by LSCI from the ex vivo flow model revealed a decreasing flux with linearly increasing distance as well as angulation to the model. The Q-ICG perfusion values obtained varied slightly with increasing distance as well as angulation to the model.

conclusionsQ-ICG and LSCI cannot be used interchangeably but may supplement each other. LSCI is profoundly affected by angulation and distance. In comparison, q-ICG is minimally affected by changing experimental conditions and is more readily applicable in minimally invasive surgery.
